Super Computer predicts if Leeds United to be relegated from Premier League after 1-0 defeat v Chelsea
Leeds United are predicted to avoid relegation from the Premier League even though they lost to Chelsea 1-0 on Saturday, 4 March.
Wesley Fofana’s second-half strike was enough for the Blues to pick up the three points at Stamford Bridge and they did so no questions asked.
Javi Gracia has now won one and lost one Premier League game in charge, after securing three points against Southampton last weekend.
FiveThirtyEight’s Super Computer crunched the numbers and predicted Leeds to finish in 16th place.
Borderline
Leeds are predicted to survive here but only just and that’s not a good territory to be in as they’ve experienced a roller coaster of emotions last season.
It looked like they were going down but Raphinha scored the most important goal of his Leeds career and Burnley did them favours in their game.
The way the points are predicted, this means that it’s likely to go down to the last weekend or at the very best, the penultimate gameweek of the campaign.
They need to stop it from reaching that and have a good March and April that’ll get them closer to the 40 point mark as that is the comfort zone.
Everton and Nottingham Forest are right there in the mix with the Whites and we’re still not counting West Ham, Leicester or Crystal Palace out of it either.
Anything can happen as there are going to be a number of twists and turns in this season and hopefully, the Whites can navigate past all of them.
